Targeted UK Attacks Investigated: Supporters of Pakistan's Imran Khan Threatened

Supporters of Pakistan's jailed former prime minister, Imran Khan, based in Britain, have been subjected to targeted attacks. The Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command is actively investigating these incidents, according to a media report on Friday.

The Guardian reported that four attacks have occurred since just before Christmas, with one man already arrested in connection to this series. The incidents, including at least one involving a firearm, took place in Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire.

Human rights lawyer Mirza Shahzad Akbar, an outspoken critic of Pakistan's regime, claims he has been targeted three times. The UK government has yet to comment, but prominent human rights groups are urging authorities to publicly condemn and address the issue.
